Visit to Jiemy Najib's Nursery

I really wanted to visit the nursery at Paroi since many years. Ironically, it is just 5 minutes from home, haha! Nowadays, Bain's son, Jiemy is managing this small orchid nursery. I was better than before and sure the wild orchids are still coming in from Jelebu and some imported ones from Indonesia.
